Meets International Organization of Legal Metrology (OIML) R111, Class E2 specifications for calibrating high precision analytical balances with readabilities as low as 0.1mg to 0.01mg

Weight includes storage container that fits inside the Mettler Toledo CarePac, and a calibration certificate

Product Description

Mettler Toledo International Organization of Legal Metrology (OIML) Class E2 weight includes a calibration certificate, and is designed for use as a third weight with the Mettler Toledo ASTM CarePac (sold separately). The weight is constructed of polished stainless steel for stability, resistance to corrosion, and low magnetic susceptibility, and a polished surface highlights wear that can affect weight precision. The weight includes a storage container that fits inside the Mettler Toledo CarePac, and a calibration certificate to ensure traceability. The weight meets OIML R111 Class E2 standards for use as a reference standard calibrating other weights, and calibrating high precision analytical balances with readabilities as low as 0.1mg to 0.01mg.

Calibration weights are used to measure the weight or mass of an object using a balance or scale, or to calibrate other weights or instruments. Calibration weights can be certified or uncertified. Certified weights meet strict guidelines for accuracy and can usually be recertified. Certified weights are used in labs where a high degree of accuracy and repeatability is required. Uncertified weights are used where a lower degree of accuracy is required, including student laboratories, rough weighting operations, and measuring force. Hooked and slotted weights are often used to measure pressure, torque, and tensile strength, and to demonstrate basic laws of physics. Calibration weights differ from lab weights, which are general purpose weights used to hold an object in place, similar to a paperweight.

Mettler-Toledo manufactures precision instruments for use in research, scientific, and quality control labs for the pharmaceutical, chemical, food, and cosmetics industries. This company, founded in 1989, is headquartered in Switzerland.
